Introduction
Your refuse vehicle may be equipped with a pressurized
water tank. This tank is used to rinse debris off the refuse
vehicle. Air pressure from the truck’s brake system is used to
provide pressure to the tank. Use these instructions for the
safe operation and inspection of all McNeilus, Oshkosh, and
London pressurized water tanks.
If your refuse vehicle is equipped with a non-pressurized water
tank (a system that uses a water pump to provide pressure),
refer to the instructions provided with the refuse vehicle.
